Nothing specific, I'm hoping for the opposite. Something most people either aren't familiar with and/or just something you enjoy.

The website shows the depth of the sea. It takes a really long time to get to the bottom

You just made me realize that there's other stuff on the site. I know what I'm doing for the day

Just went through the whole thing. That’s incredible. I had never heard of most of those animals.

Waste time with the internet archive

Waste time with beats

Waste time with chords

Waste time with fonts

I really wish Flash was still a thing, my favourite way to waste time was addictinggames or newgrounds back in the day
